Darnold was a limited participant in practice, meaning he took part in some team drills. Josh McCown, dealing with minor back and right thumb injuries from last Sunday, also was limited.

Basically, the Jets' quarterback situation is up in the air as they prepare for a road game against the Tennessee Titans. As much as they'd like to have Darnold back on the field, they will err on the side of caution because they see him as their future franchise quarterback.

On Wednesday, McCown, who started the last two games, was the No. 1 quarterback during the open portion of practice. Darnold was No. 2, ahead of Davis Webb. This means there's a good chance Darnold will at least be active for the game.

Darnold admitted he's lobbying to play.

"I mean, yeah," he said. "I want to play really bad. But at the same time, I understand it's a process."

This was Darnold's first significant day of work since the injury, so he was curious to see how his foot responds overnight. He admitted it was "a little sore, but nothing crazy" after practice, adding that he's "pretty optimistic" it won't feel any worse on Thursday.
